Embracing Earth’s Soft Cradle

Ever heard that the grass is greener elsewhere? This drone-captured image near China’s Xiwei Reservoir in Shandong begs to differ. Here, a man lies ensconced in expansive grasslands, seemingly deep in thought, possibly reflecting on life’s myriad questions. Or does the mind go blank and peaceful as soon as you get emerged in the heavenly green?

Beyond this serene sight, the reservoir is a hotspot for activities: from freshwater fishing and sunlit picnics to refreshing swims. Surrounded by such verdant beauty, it’s little wonder that many choose to set aside their tasks, surrendering to the allure of these natural grass beds.
